Yesterday, I wrote: Well, the power just went out, so it's time for me to pack up my Mac and head out to a cafe with WiFi where I can work on my novel in front of people and get this posted. The weird thing is, while it's likely going to take an hour at least from the time I finish writing this...

It was bound to happen sooner or later, and though I've known this was coming for a few months now, I was still really sad to read confirmation that Star Trek: The Experience is closing September first. Offering a sad commentary on the state of the Star Trek franchise, the Hilton Hotel in Las V...

Second the recommendation above for The Girl in the Fireplace. It's the most painful hour of TV I can remember watching. You know how some media has the tears pouring down your face at the end? This hurt too much for that to happen.

I should have finished my script yesterday, but the goddamn sinusitis completely knocked me out. Luckily, used a winning combination of Sudafed, Mucinex, Advil, and sitting on the couch next to a humidifier to prevent this thing from developing into something really nasty, like a Moose Bite. ...

What, no Settlers of Catan?
(And I spent way too many Monday nights in college playing Talisman until the wee hours...)
I love playing Uno, too: MSN was nice enough to give us a Free Preview of their version, which matches you to other players by rank...

Munchkin is one of my favorite geek games of all time, earning a spot on my "will always play" list with classics like Illuminati: Deluxe Edition, Bohnanza, Car Wars, and Abalone. If you're a Munchkin aficionado like I am (Oh! That makes me wish I could do Photoshop: Someone should design a Ciga...

I think my daughter Ael is developing in that direction. Last summer, we were walking up the hill toward home. I was in front, she was in back, when I heard her going "ow, ow, ow..." Over my shoulder, I said "Define 'ow'."

"We are no longer the knights who say 'Ni!' We are now the knights who say 'Ecky-ecky-ecky-ecky-pikang-zoop-boing-goodem-zoo-owli-zhiv'!' We must give you a test." "What is this test, oh Knights of . . . Knights who until recently said 'Ni!'" -Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Night before last,...
